The artwork of Krista Huot is amazing and creative. Having an almost unhealthy obsession with everything fairytale-like, Krista Huot creates artwork that is right up my alley. Not only tackling the more interesting characters in fairytales (primarily the women), she also depicts powerful characters from folklore, Greek mythology and the Bible.
Looking at her collection of beautiful artwork, I find myself gravitating to the ‘Four Unicorns of the Apocalypse’--because who can bring the terror better than a group of determined girls?
